Rigby racks up 26, twice (01/31/2009)
Collegiate Check-up
In the first 22 games of the season Tyler Rigby, the leading scorer for the IU-East men's basketball team, cleared the 25-point barrier twice. Now he's done it twice in four days.
The Jay County High School graduate scored 26 points in back-to-back games, victories for the Red Wolves over Berea College and Ohio Christian University.
Rigby, who was named the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Player of the Week for the second time this season, fell just a bit short of a double-double in the win over Berea Jan. 24 as he also grabbed eight rebounds. He added two assists and one steal.
The sophomore went 4-of-6 from long distance Tuesday against Ohio Christian and also had four rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal.
For the season, Rigby is averaging 16.6 points per game. He has hit 58 3-pointers, and is shooting just under 40-percent from beyond the arc.
He also averages 3.8 rebounds and has 43 assists, 24 steals and nine blocks on the year.
Fellow JCHS graduate Dustin Overton (2004) had two points, one rebound and one assist against Berea. He also had an assist in the victory over Ohio Christian.
Holly Stein
Fort Recovery - 2007
Led the Defiance College women's basketball team in scoring in its 91-90 loss Jan. 24 to Hanover.
Stein came off the bench to shoot 5-of-9 from the field, including 2-of-4 from 3-point range and 8-of-10 from the free-throw line for 20 points in 23 minutes.
She hit a foul shot to give the Yellow Jackets the lead with 11 seconds left, but Hanover's Holly Vogel hit the winning hoop eight seconds later.
The sophomore also had four rebounds, two assists and two steals in the loss.
Ian Thomas
Mitchell Thomas
Jay County - 2005
Competed for the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology men's track team as it hosted the Friday Night Invitational Jan. 23.
Ian Thomas placed eighth in the 1-mile run, finishing in 4-minutes, 37.27 seconds. He was just two hundredths of a second behind seventh-place Brandon Welti of Franklin and less than three tenths of a second out of fifth place.
Mitchell Thomas, Ian's twin brother, followed in 10th place in 4:47.58.
